Tyler, the Creator
A decade after first garnering a buzz and wild reputation with Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt and the rest of L.A.'s Odd Future crew, Tyler Okonma hit a new plateau with hip-hop's most acclaimed album of 2021, "Call Me If You Get Lost." The sonically scattershot and lyrically poignant LP shows the 30-year-old rap wiz maturing without losing his cleverness. Here's hoping he has also outgrown the barrage of sexist and lewd comments at past local gigs. He heads up the biggest post-quarantine hip-hop tour to hit town yet, also featuring "Telapatía"-singing Latin/R&B music crossover Kali Uchis, L.A. wordsmith Vince Staples and Teezo Touchdown. (7 p.m. Sun., Target Center, 600 1st Av. N., Mpls., $26-$126, axs.com).
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER
'Pretty Woman'
Theater lovers have been stumped as to why this 2018 stage musical has not been a big success like the 1990 Julia Roberts-Richard Gere film on which it's based. Garry Marshall, who directed the film, co-wrote the book but died while working on the show. It could be that the plot — an update of the Cinderella story in which a prostitute and the wealthy man who hires her fall in love — is tired. Or maybe it's the 1980s-flavored rock score, composed by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. Whatever the reason, "Pretty Woman," staged by two-time Tony winner Jerry Mitchell, is still trying to find its groove. (Feb. 22-27 at 7:30 p.m. Tue.-Thu., 8 p.m. Fri., 2 & 8 p.m. Sat., 1 & 6:30 p.m. Sun., Orpheum Theatre, 910 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls., $40-$139. 1-800-982-2787 or hennepintheatretrust.org)
ROHAN PRESTON
Cory Wong and the Wongnotes
After appearing on more than a dozen albums since 2020, the hyper-prolific Grammy-nominated guitarist returns home for his last U.S. gig before a monthlong European tour. With the horn-fueled Wongnotes, the guitarist always provides a funky good time whether delivering "Welcome 2 Minneapolis," "St. Paul" or a Stevie Wonder medley. Maybe he'll serve something from this year's more chill instrumental effort "Wong's Café," featuring the tasty ditty "Sweet Potato Pie." Guests include R&B vocalist Antwaun Stanley and bluegrass singer-picker Sierra Hull. (8 p.m. Sat., First Avenue, 701 1st Av. N., Mpls., $30-$35, first-avenue.com).

MELISSA WALKER
Egarr and the SPCO
While the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra has been moving away from working with conductors, they make an exception for artistic partner Richard Egarr, who's among the world's most respected interpreters of 18th- and early-19th-century music. The winner of a recent Gramophone Award for his work with England's Academy of Ancient Music, Egarr will lead the SPCO in works by George Frideric Handel, Henry Purcell, William Lawes and Joseph Haydn. (11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Fri., 8 p.m. Sat., Ordway Concert Hall, 345 Washington St., St. Paul, $12-$50, students and children free, 651-291-1144 or thespco.org.)
ROB HUBBARD
'Stag and Doe'
Maybe producer/director Bill Kenzie, the Old Log Theatre alum who founded DayTrippers Dinner Theatre eight years ago, should rebrand it as a lunch theater, since most of its shows are in the daytime and feature a lunch buffet. Its spring show, "Stag and Doe," is a comedy by Mark Crawford about nuptial mayhem in a community wedding hall. It includes a bridezilla, a wedding couple trying to raise money, and a catering staff in jail. The $44 ticket includes buffet. (Feb. 23-June 9 at 12:15 p.m. Wednesdays-Fridays, 5 p.m. Sundays, 9152 Old Cedar Av. S., Bloomington, 952-393-3644 or daytripshows.com.)
